eprint.iacr.orgpaperTowards Quantum Sensing for Side-Channel Analysis
Preprint on using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center quantum sensing for electromagnetic side-channel analysis of ICs. The authors build an NV-based RF spectrometer with 1.1 GHz real-time bandwidth and adjustable center frequency, which reads the spectrum in the time domain without Fourier transforms or frequency sweeps. They use it on RSA decryption emanations and for leakage detection on a software Number Theoretic Transform running on a Cortex-M4 microcontroller.
TL;DR Demonstrates an NV-center quantum RF spectrometer for EM side-channel analysis, applied to RSA and a lattice-crypto NTT on a Cortex-M4.
